Sherri: Meagan Good, Grace Byers...

[This story contains spoilers from the Harlem season three finale.]

After three seasons, Harlem has wrapped in a nice neat bow of a series finale, something creator Tracy Oliver was adamant about when she learned her Prime Video comedy was being canceled.

“I don’t want to be one of those shows where — because I’ve been that viewer — you’re like, ‘you’re just going to end like that?’” she tells The Hollywood Reporter in the conversation below.

Giving audiences a satisfying conclusion to the series that centered around the lives of four friends — played by Meagan Good, Jerrie Johnson, Shoniqua Shandai and Grace Byers — in the New York City neighborhood it’s named after required Oliver and the rest of her writing team to make a complete pivot halfway through the scripting process. That included, Oliver reveals, swapping the original character she planned to go through a motherhood journey in season three for Camille (Good) to give her...

After premiering on Prime Video back in January, Harlem season 3 has finally reached its conclusion. The last two episodes of the third installment are now streaming on Prime Video, and fans are eager to see how the six-episode season wraps up.

However, some fans were eagerly counting down the minutes for the final episodes to drop, staying up late and repeatedly refreshing Prime Video. The moment they were released, they wasted no time watching both episodes back-to-back. Now that they've finished, the big question on their minds is whether Harlem will return for a fourth season with a new batch of episodes.

Sadly, there’s disappointing news for fans. Harlem season 4 will not be happening as the beloved comedy series was announced last month to be ending with its third season. On Jan. 8, the official trailer for Harlem season 3 was released. At this time, it was also confirmed that this...

As Tracy Oliver came of age in the Nineties and early 2000s, sitcoms like Girlfriends, Sex and the City and The Golden Girls dominated. Ultimately, their themes surrounding love (or the lack of it) and friendship helped form the blueprint for her own show, Harlem — but she implemented her own flair. “The one thing I felt was different from my group of friends versus those shows was the fact that everyone I went out with wasn’t straight,” says Oliver. “It was so interesting that everyone was heterosexual in these shows,...

It's almost time to say goodbye to our favorite group of ladies as Harlem season 3 has officially arrived. The drama first debuted on our screens in 2021, and now we get to see where the craziness of life is going take the core friend group as the final season is here.

Prime Video's "Harlem" is back for season two, following the latest misadventures of our favorite core four: Camille (Meagan Good), Quinn (Grace Byers), Angie (Shoniqua Shandai), and Tye (Jerrie Johnson). The dramedy's second season, which premiered on Feb. 3, picks right back up where the season one finale left off with Camille and Ian's (Tyler Lepley) epic reunion as a couple. This season, the show explores more happenings in the girls' careers, love lives, and everything else in between. But viewers are already asking for another season. And quiet as it's kept, so is the cast.

"We done heard some things already," Good tells Popsugar. Even creator Tracy Oliver teased some tidbits about her plans for a third season, which has yet to be green-lit. "We started the season three writer's room this week," she says days before "Harlem"'s return. "Fingers crossed, if it gets picked up, you guys will get to see these ideas.

Whether you’ve already seen Season 1 or are just tuning into the show for the very first time, we have all the details you need to help you get the most out of your viewing experience.

Harlem is a comedy series that follows four close friends who met and bonded during their college years at New York University. Flash forward to the present day, which finds the four women living in the New York neighborhood of Harlem in their thirties. Viewers have the chance to join in on the girls’ fun and laughter as they navigate love, life, and work as young professionals living in the Big Apple.

Representation and More to Love

Fans...

When viewers tune in to the second season of Harlem, the comedy about four ambitious best friends (played by Meagan Good, Grace Byers, Jerrie Johnson and Shoniqua Shandai) navigating life in New York, they’ll find something a little deeper: frank discussions about mental health. Ahead of Harlem‘s Scad TVfest panel, showrunner Tracy Oliver discusses how the events of the past two years affected the writers room and found their way into the show — and teases what she can about the upcoming Girls Trip sequel.

A lot has happened since the first season of Harlem. What felt most different this time around?

I started working on the show in 2019, and we broke the whole first season pre-pandemic. When we came together to write season two, we were squarely in the middle of a new reality, and it felt disingenuous to make a light season. A lot of us were...

When Harlem first aired in December 2021, Camille — the show’s protagonist, played by Meagan Good — reckoned with the changes to the once predominantly Black neighborhood. “The number of actual dateable men is bleak,” she lectured both to her television audience and a room of fictional students at Columbia University. Her opening presentation to the class during the show’s pilot featured the Mosuo women of China, who rule their community and have full liberty to go in and out of marriages as they please. “We are not Mosuo,” Camille told the class.

The case for Sherri Shepherd as TV mom of the year is here. With her upcoming appearance in Season 2 of “Harlem,” she adds a new onscreen daughter under her wing — and they’ve got a matching look that screams family ties.

As a fan of Tracy Oliver’s series on Amazon Prime, the talk show host was more than excited to do a guest spot, but what sealed the deal was her character. Shepherd, already known for her enthusiastic persona, portrays Angie’s (Shoniqua Shandai) equally loud, proud and take-charge mother, Sonia, in Episode 3 titled, “An Assist from the Sidelines.”

In an exclusive clip, Shepherd is seen sharing a touching heart-to-heart moment with Shandai as she reminds her to pick herself up when life knocks her down.

Perhaps Shepherd embodied the role all too well as she says the mother-daughter feeling between Shandai and herself took on a life offscreen.

For so long it seems like TV shows have starved Black women and women of color of sisterhood representation, but Prime Video's "Harlem" is changing that. The hit comedy series, created by Tracy Oliver, first premiered on Dec. 3, 2021, and returned for its highly anticipated second season on Feb. 3, 2023. The premise of the show revolves around the lives of four women in Harlem - Camille (Meagan Good), Quinn (Grace Byers), Angie (Shoniqua Shandai), and Tye (Jerrie Johnson) - as they juggle their tumultuous love lives, friendship, and careers.

The bond that the foursome share onscreen closely resembles other sister circles we've grown attached to, from shows like "Girlfriends," "Insecure," and "Living Single," to name a few. But Byers still wants viewers to know "Harlem" brings something else to the table by exploring familiar stories through new characters, some of which are rarely represented on the small screen.

The first season of Harlem, airing back in December 2021, was quick to establish itself as a fun, colorful, and poignant kaleidoscope of the modern Black experience. The series was an immediate delight that undoubtedly warranted more attention than it got. Created by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip), Harlem follows four thirty-somethings – Camille (Meagan Good), Quinn (Grace Byers), Angie (Shoniqua Shandai), and Tye (Jerrie Johnson) – as they attempt to balance love, careers, and the general expectations of life in the titular Harlem.

Variety magazine celebrated the return of in-person Sundance to Park City, Utah at the MacRo Lodge. Julia Louis-Dreyfus joined writer and director Nicole Holofcener for the premiere of their film “You Hurt My Feelings” followed up a reception at the Variety Sundance cover party, presented by MacRo.

They were joined by co-star Tobias Menzies, “Harlem” cast members Meagon Good and Shoniqua Shandai, “To Live and Die and Live” director Qasim Basir and cast members Skye P. Marshall, Maryam Basir, Amin Joseph and Cory Hardrict, Variety CEO Michelle Sobrino-Stearns and co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.

The ‘Girls Trip’ sequel starring Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Tiffany Haddish will be taking a trip to West Africa.

Writer-director-producer Tracy Oliver, who co-wrote the original 2017 romp, joined the Variety Studio presented by Audible at Sundance and provided an update on the anticipated reunion of Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tiffany Haddish.

Oliver, at the festival to promote the second season of her Amazon Prime Video series ‘Harlem’, said she had a “definitive ‘Girls Trip 2’ update. That it’s officially happening. I can say that.” She also provided a plot update, and while the film’s producer Will Packer “might kill me, we’re looking to set it in Ghana.”

One of Oliver’s ‘Harlem’ stars, actor Shoniqua Shandai, screamed “Afrochella!” after Oliver dropped the news.

Tracy Oliver, co-writer of Girls Trip, confirms Girls Trip 2 is on the way with a change of scenery. Girls Trip was a smash hit comedy released in 2017 that was produced on a 19 million budget before earning 140 million worldwide. The film follows four lifelong friends, played by Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Tiffany Haddish, and Jada Pinkett Smith, who take a vacation to New Orleans to attend the Essence Festival, where they embrace the fun and rekindle relationships.

While speaking with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival, Oliver gave a "definitive Girls Trip 2 update," stating, "That it's officially happening. I can say that." She also went on to provide some details about the plot and setting of the film, even though it may upset producer Will Packer, revealing, "we're looking to set it in Ghana." And while Oliver didn't offer up production information, fans of the first Girls Trip can...

Who's ready for a vacation? On Jan. 23, "Girls Trip" writer-producer-director Tracy Oliver confirmed "Girls Trip 2" is happening in a new interview with Variety. The news comes a year after producer Will Packer confirmed to "Good Morning America" that the sequel was in its early stages.

In her interview, Oliver teased she had a "definitive 'Girls Trip 2' update: that it's officially happening. I can say that." She went on to tease that although Packer "might kill me, we're looking to set it in Ghana."

The multihyphenate writer was at Sundance to promote season two of her Starz series "Harlem," and one of the stars of the show made a suggestion for what might bring the women to West Africa. Shoniqua Shandai shouted, "Afrochella!" Which would be perfect, since the first "Girls Trip" was about the pals going to the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
